MAMA WALTON, WE LOVE YOU

With our fate in our hands
While we aim for the prize
As we reap victory, reaching our destiny
Dreams formed together, Friendships forever
John Walton, Mama Walton
We love you

In ons skool vind ons krag
Dag na dag, Sicitur Ad Astra (Mama Walton)
Deur lief en leed, deur storms ongedeerd
Thula Mama, Thula Walton
With our heads held up high
As we stand here today

With God’s guidance, showing John Walton the way
Sportsmanship, comradeship, leadership we take pride
John Walton, Mama Walton
We love you
John Walton, Mama Walton
We love you (X2)
